Reimbursement rates for clinical social workers in private practice are based on the resource based relative value scale (RBRVS). The federal government developed this standardized physician payment schedule in 1992. It is used not only for physicians but for non-physician practitioners such as clinical social workers, psychologists, and clinical nurse specialists.
